What are the negatives of curbing margin trading on oil commodities?
Nov 13th
And do they outweigh the burden placed on the economy from record high oil prices?
I’m not in the field, but based on my research I’ve come to the conclusion, that record high oil prices are the result of market speculation. Sure demand has its part, but speculation is over inflating the real value of oil and negatively impacting the economy beyond any benefit I can imagine from allowing liquidity in margin trading. So to reassert my question:
Would requiring oil traders to actually take delivery of oil and thereby reducing liquidity in oil trading benefit the economy by quickly reducing oil prices worldwide or harm the economy in the long run?
Do you have to purchase stocks on margin to be considered a Pattern Day Trader by the NYSE?
Jul 28th
I’m a small investor, a very small investor. I have devised a range trading strategy which only requires two trades per day. My initial investment will be $500, through a cut rate online brokerage. I understand that the NYSE and the NASD, require a minimum of $25000 in the accounts of “pattern day traders”. However the reason as I understand it, is to protect banks from losses on margin loans. I don’t intend to buy on margin. So does this regulation apply to me? Thanks.
